Designer: Kris Van AsscheTheme: A Fun Fair - a rollercoaster decor illuminated by coloured lights.Silhouette: Multiple proposals of suits, in oversized volumes for the trousers and a play on straps and ropes. An urban, contemporary spirit with a touch of punk. Plaid shirt, trousers tightened at the ankle for sporty accents. A graphic aspect with contrasting colour applications.Focus on: The visible points of couture, hanging threads and patches of flowers from the Japanese artist, Toru Kamei's work, sewn onto the back of a jacket or a short jacket.Note: On the front row, the presence of Robert Pattinson, Bernard Arnault, Karl Lagerfeld and the rapper ASAP Rocky (the new face of Dior Homme)+ A collection with multiple references, a work showcasing handmade pieces and the couture savoir-faire of the house, mixed with a sportswear and urban spirit.Interviews from Kris Van Assche Today I really want to bring much more energy, young energy to the stage through new propositions like jogging bottoms, sleeveless jackets, and jackets embroidered in a punk way. So there is lots of energy to bring something new to this silhouette, a new proposition, even several.I am full of contrasts, I love order and disorder I love the new wave from the 80s and today’s sporty energy. The idea is not just to concentrate on one past reference and rework it today but rather to make a synthesis of many sources of inspirations and references to do something new. That is creativity for me anyway. In our savoir faire there is the idea of contrast, we have worked on the sport and streetwear pieces and we made them in a couture way and this time with handmade finishes such as 150 meters of lace worked like embroidery on a jacket. The idea is to take sporty or streetwear elements and rework them in the ateliers and do something of a very high quality.
